Anyone buy one of these stock looking radios?

Feedback?

I purchased one about a year ago and ran it in my car for a bit. However, think I may sell it soon as I may go in a different direction with a DSP/bluetooth setup.

Overall, it's a good sounding radio, but would recommend getting a small amp to help push the speakers (then again, I have some highly efficient speakers that need a push).

Let me know if you have any interest!

Sure
Shoot me a pm with what your thinking

Got a picture installed?

I am putting mine in next month. Antique Automobile Radio makes it and you can buy direct or buy from Classic Industries. I like the size and weight savings plus AM/ FM , Bluetooth.

I just can't see myself spending that amount of money on a basic radio when you can keep your original radio for show and have a $100 Bluetooth amp run directly to your speakers and can stream music with your phone to it.

I was thinking along the same lines.  What amp do you use?  Where did you install it?
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

This is the amp I will be using and installing in the trunk behind the rear seat out of sight. It's also small enough to install under the front seats if you'd rather there.

That radio was an easy install, fit my 71 perfectly. Also have a 160W amp mounted in the trunk between the rear speakers, pretty much out of site. Got the radio a few months back, working great so far..

I just ordered one from custom autosound..with Bluetooth, factory appearing but new..$ 670 shipped and taxes and the bluetooth upgrade..we will see once it's in place...that'll be awhile..

I put one in my '71 last year and I am happy with it thus far.
It states that it is not compatible with factory speakers so I also bought a set of aftermarket rear speakers.
Super easy installation and fit perfect.
